Consult Appendix Z - No 1: Brace For Impact!

The brilliant streaks of the fleeing ships pierced the dark at the boundary of the Bilbringi system. The cold blue fire of their ion drives seared the void. Blaster fire peppered the hull plates of every vessel, pummelling the structural fields with relentless destructive energy intent on a single purpose. The commanders of the fleeing ships pressed on toward the very edges of the system, gathering an incremental lead on the much slower, purposeful enemy ships. Until they found the limits of the systems gravity shadow, they could not make the jump.

Then the fleet punched light speed… and you expected the players to stand and fight. So... What now?

For those moments when your players have taken the inevitable path away from whatever you have planned, the Consult Appendix Z series provides the ideal tool for conjuring up a quick random solution to get you through to the end of the session or your next flash of inspiration.

In 20 table-packed pages, the Brace For Impact! supplement provides more than 70 random encounters for space opera and hard sci-fi settings. You can either roll randomly with a 6-sided die or flick to a random page and choose a numbered section, then inflict the content on your appreciative players.

In addition, the book now includes a new infinity table to add time-travelling shenanigans and hijinks to your randomly generated encounters PLUS a simple set of rules - Renegade - based on the minimald6 system for temporal adventures, including a guide to structuring adventures and eight sample adversaries.

Consult Appendix Z - #1: Brace For Impact!is a system-free supplement and you can easily adapt it to your favourite game system or campaign setting.

Like battle plans, scenarios never survive first contact with the enemy... er, sorry, characters... and it's always handy to have something to come up with on the fly to cope with untoward choices. Roll your dice and it soon will be THEM dealing with [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
